Solar Ray: An Autonomous Flapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The “Solar Ray” is an autonomous, bio-mimetic, submarine that uses flapping wings for propulsion and while avoiding obstacles with two sonar sensors provides long term observation of a shallow water marine environment at a low cost to the user.

متن کاملHydrodynamic Performance of a Manta Ray Inspired Oscillating Fin
Myliobatidae is a family of large pelagic rays including the manta ray, Manta birostris. They are extremely efficient swimmers, can cruise at high speeds and can perform turn-on-a-dime maneuvering, making these fishes excellent inspiration for an autonomous underwater vehicle. Manta rays have been studied from a biological perspective; however the hydrodynamic performance of their large-amplitu...

متن کاملAutonomous Flight Test of Flapping Micro Air Vehicle
1 General Introduction A Flapping Micro Air Vehicle (FMAV) is an aircraft that flies by flapping its wings. Designers seek to imitate the flapping-wing flight of birds, bats and insects. Though machines may differ in form, they are usually built on the same scale as these flying creatures. Basic open-loop flight control is possible through a radio frequency remote controller with joystick [1]. ...
متن کاملFirst free-flight flow visualisation of a flapping-wing robot
Flow visualisations are essential to better understand the unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wing flight. The issues inherent to animal experiments, such as poor controllability and unnatural flapping when tethered, can be avoided by using robotic flyers. Such an approach holds a promise for a more systematic and repeatable methodology for flow visualisation, through a better controlled flight....
